    Words are words. Again, could be legit, but he is campaigning for office! Trust is built with action. Someone with his history has kind of a deep hole to climb out of. Left-unity is not some excuse to uncritically support anyone that comes along saying nice-sounding things, particularly when that person has such very suss history.

      What “history” are you talking about? Do you think he has a history with Naziism? That he’s been secretly going to Klan meetings?

      How are you not “uncritically” accepting the narrative that he’s a Nazi, without ignoring everything else that says he isn’t? Wouldn’t critical thinking involve looking at everything about him, not just the one detail that contradicts the rest?
